Pediatric Bladder Infections

Pediatric bladder infections, or urinary tract infections (UTIs), occur when bacteria enter the bladder, leading to inflammation and discomfort. Common symptoms in children include a frequent urge to urinate, burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and sometimes fever. These infections can result from poor hygiene, inadequate fluid intake, or anatomical issues. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection, along with encouraging proper hydration and hygiene practices. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications and ensure your child's comfort and health. Regular follow-ups may be necessary to prevent recurrences.
